Welcome to the OWA Talks podcast from the Optical Women’s Association! Our two hosts, Carissa and Tatiana, interview esteemed guests who connect, inspire, and lead women in the optical, optometry, and ophthalmology industries.
Join us for an honest conversation with Jackie Janiec about the seasons of life. We talk about leadership, perimenopause, motherhood, and how emotional intelligence has guided her both at home and in the optical industry.
About the guest:
Jackie Janiec is a marketing leader, brand strategist, and coach with a career built on turning complexity into clarity. As SVP of Marketing at Zyloware, she's leading the integration of two iconic American eyewear companies — aligning teams, unifying brands, and raising the bar for what great marketing looks like in the optical industry.
A proud member of OWA, Jackie is committed to advancing women in the optical field — championing mentorship, visibility, and the kind of leadership that opens doors for the next generation. Her coaching work reflects that same belief: that when women are supported and seen, the whole industry rises.
Known for her direct style, strategic instincts, and genuine passion for the eyecare community, Jackie brings both vision and accountability to everything she touches.
A native New Yorker and devoted mom to a beautiful autistic little girl — she brings that same fierce advocacy home every day.
